About the game
Build an idyllic landscape of blooming fields, crystal clear lakes, and picturesque farms. Send your cows to high-scoring pastures again and again. But not all landscapes are in equal demand at all times! Move your cows strategically and bring them back to your farm at just the right moment to win the game. Foresight and good timing are required here! Who will end up with the most points ... and the happiest cows? —description from the publisher In Kuhfstein, a game in which cows have apparently overrun the town of Kufstein in Austria, each player builds an idyllic landscape of blooming fields, crystal clear lakes, and picturesque farms. Ideally you send your cows to high-scoring pastures again and again, but not all landscapes are equally in demand at all times! In order to have your cow's snout in front of the scoring track at the end of the game, you not only have to use your animals cleverly, but also bring them back to your farm at the right moment. Farsightedness and good timing are required here! Who will end up with the most points...and the happiest cows?
